Marco Valerio Verni, the uncle of the slain woman, condemned the continued violence during an interview with CNN affiliate Rai News.

“All we want is justice. We cannot fight barbarism with more barbarism. Such actions are not justifiable,” he said. “This country is fed up — but such reactions can never be justified. We are a civilized country. We should not let barbarism prevail over civilization.”

Italy is in the throes of a heated electoral campaign as anti-foreigner sentiment has become a key theme.

Politician Matteo Salvini, has frequently mentioned Mastropietro’s killing in campaign appearances leading up to Italy’s March 4 general election.

He has pledged to deport 150,000 migrants in his first year in office if his party wins control of parliament and he is named premier.

Senate president Pietro Grasso chastised Salvini for campaigning on a tragedy.

‘’Whoever, like Salvini, exploits news events and tragedies for electoral purposes is among those responsible for the spiral of hatred and violence that we must stop as soon as possible,” he said.
